Meet Me

I have 15 years of experience as a professional PR strategist, marketing + communications specialist — and I’ve built my own multi-million dollar, award-winning cleaning business doing my own marketing, web design and branding - and I can show you how to do it too!

My insights, tips, lessons and opinions have been featured in glossy magazines, national newspapers, business podcasts and TV appearances. I also teach branding web design, social media marketing, blogging and email marketing classes to other entrepreneurs both as a consultant and as a business school instructor.

When I’m not skiing in the snowy Canadian Rocky Mountains with my family or enjoying the sunshine and beach at our vacation home in San Diego, you can find me indulging in a good book with Chester the Yorkie on my lap, or out with friends for wine and whatever is closest to being vegan.

My approach to operating a business is creative and usually unconventional. And although my personal branding is quite feminine, I work with men and women pretty equally. My clients include insurance agencies, realtors, jewelry designers, private health care providers, meal prep services, personal trainers, pet food manufacturers, wedding decorators, and more. But my absolute fave people to work with are cleaning business owners because I did it day after day for 8 years and know it inside out.

I currently offer one-on-one consulting as well as small group consulting. You can also join my Facebook group for cleaning biz owners.
